Poetry: ‘Dancer of the Shoe Poem’ by Michael Lee Johnson

Dancer of the Shoe Poem

By Michael Lee Johnson (V2)

 

Dancer of the shoe poem,

I trip over your shoe string

dress or gown

and keep walking with a beat,

you’re missing a step,

let me take you there,

or did the ghost of the night

take your slippers away-

move right, slightly left,

back one half-step.

Dancer of the shoe poem,

it’s my duty

to take you away

in a love feast.

Thank you for this dance.
